Where and how do I begin? How can I give myself the best chance of writing a good degree project report and cope with the challenges of such a project? These are some of the questions we will answer in the first workshop. We’ll work on background reading, managing references, establishing a research aim, and planning your writing.  

The writing focus for this workshop is sections and subsections. You will learn to:  

  • Get familiar with guidelines and grading criteria  

  • Find a knowledge gap and decide on a research aim and/or question(s)  

  • Find relevant academic literature  

  • Collect and manage references with reference management software  

  • Plan a structure  

This workshop is held both in English and Swedish. Please note that this workshop is offered on two separate dates, choose between Thursday 22 January  and Wednesday 28 January. 

About the workshops 

Writing a degree project report can be a challenging experience. To support you in the different phases of producing the report, Centre for Academic Writing and Rhetoric and KTH Library will offer a series of three workshops during the spring semester 2026. You may sign up for one, two, or all three workshops. The workshops will include short presentations on relevant themes, with time dedicated to allowing you to relate these themes to your own degree project report. There will be opportunities for individual support.
